I propose adding Phi (approx 1.618) as a constant to use in parameters.

The number crops up as a ratio frequently in nature, and in ISO standards (such as height to width ratios of A4 paper), as well as in design as the ratio of height and width are visually pleasing and hence why it is called the "golden ratio".

Phi can be calculated by the equation Phi = (1+sqrt(5))/2 however, having to add this as a user parameter is annoying to the workflow when used across multiple designs. A cursory search, and it turns up in several YouTube videos for Fusion 360 (including NYC-CNC), as well as in comments in the IdeaStation too, so I suspect there is some desire and I suspect Phi is a far more useful as a constant than the function random() is to designers.
